A heavy serif with compact proportions and pronounced flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like ends. Strokes are mostly even in weight, with subtle modulation and softened joins that keep the texture solid rather than sharp. Serifs read as bracketed and slightly splayed, producing a carved, poster-like silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, giving the type a dense, emphatic color that remains orderly across lines.
Best suited to headlines and short settings where its dense weight and flared detailing can read as character rather than clutter. It works well for posters, labels, packaging, and brand marks that want a traditional, handcrafted or heritage-leaning feel. In longer text it will be most effective at larger sizes where counters and spacing have room to breathe.
The overall tone feels vintage and workmanlike—confident, sturdy, and slightly rustic. Its flared endings and chunky forms evoke hand-crafted signage and classic print ephemera, lending a friendly authority rather than a formal, delicate mood.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, immediate presence while adding personality through flared terminals and bracketed serifs. It aims for a classic display voice—bold and legible—suggesting influences from traditional signage and print lettering rather than minimalist book typography.
The rhythm is bouncy and energetic due to the strong terminal shapes and slightly irregular-feeling flare distribution across letters. Figures match the heavy, display-driven voice, with bold, simplified forms that prioritize impact over fine detail.
